Madonna Is Still a Two Cell Phone Kinda Woman

GeekSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 09:01:56 -0800

Looks like my two-gadget-minimum memo got lost in the mail last week because everyone else seemed to have received theirs! First we saw Cameron Diaz geeking-out with a MacBook Air and a Kindle and now Madonna is back with her two cell phones. It looks like she's tossed in her BlackBerrys for two new and improved handsets - perhaps a G1 from T-Mobile or an HTC Fuze? Considering we're dealing with a woman who has admitted to sleeping with her BlackBerry under her pillow, we're liable to see her with three phones in the near future.

Ex Text: Do You Have an Electronic Relationship With Exes?

GeekSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:30:35 -0800

Newly single Madonna was recently spotted having drinks with her ex-husband Sean Penn (not that ex, her ex ex!), and what's more - they're text buddies.

I personally don't keep up with my exes via Facebook, phone calls, or texting, but I have many friends (usually the currently single ones) who have added each other as friends on Facebook and MySpace and keep in contact that way.

Whether they're playing with fire, completely and utterly mature, or just think that electronic relationships aren't the same as regular friendships, I think it says a lot about you.

How do you feel about exes and Facebook, MySpace, texting, or any other kind of tech communication? Kosher or not kosher? Facebook friends until one of you is coupled?

Madonna Keeps Her BlackBerry in Bed With Her

GeekSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:00:47 -0700

In the May issue of Elle, Madonna discusses life, love, and her close relationship with her beloved BlackBerry! How close you ask? The Queen of Pop admits that her and her husband Guy Ritchie love their BlackBerry's so much that they to sleep with them under their pillows!

She says: "It’s not unromantic. It’s practical. I’m sure loads of couples have their BlackBerry's in bed with them. I have to sleep with my BlackBerry because I often wake up in the middle of the night and remember that I’ve forgotten something, so I jump up and make notes." And adds "Guy’s always waiting for me to come to bed, so he plays Brick Breaker on his BlackBerry until I’m ready."

So cute! Considering she's so tech obsessed - it's no wonder her new album Hard Candy will be hitting cell phones before stores!

Madonna's New Album Comes to Cell Phones Before Stores

Before hitting stores on April 28, lucky Vodafone customers will be able to get seven of the eleven tracks off of Madonna's latest album Hard Candy!

According to the Times Online, songs will go on sale one week before the album release date and can be downloaded for 24 hours before being replaced by the next track.

Each song will cost 99p, with the hot new single, "4 Minutes" being available immediately for 75p! Now for the bad news, Vodafone spans across ten European countries. . . Which means U.S. fans are gonna have to be super patient, or wait for leaked versions to hit the net.

Do You Use A Digital or Film Camera?

GeekSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:05:49 -0700

When I came across this older (as in 2002) picture of Donatella Versace, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow having some fun with Gwyneth's 35mm film camera, it brought me back to the days when I religiously carried my huge film cam to every party and function. Now with digital cameras we have the freedom to take all the shots we want, view them, and delete the ones we don't like on the spot. I'm curious to know how many of you still use 35mm film cameras (hey, I'm not giving mine away any time soon)! And how many of you have completely switched over to the digital. Better yet, you might use a really expensive manual camera packed full of amazing features and functions! Either or, let me know below! Image Source

Joost Is Now Mac Friendly

GeekSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 11:00:36 -0800

If you are like me and were completely clueless as to what Joost was, I'll try to explain this new way of watching TV on the internet. Basically it's a program that makes TV on the net as realistic as watching it from the boob tube. You can search for programs and channels and also take part in chats. Until recently, Joost was only available for Windows users. Now Joost has introduced a beta version for Mac Intel computers. I'm wondering what will be the future media player of choice, Joost or AppleTV ?

Keira and Madonna Heart Their BlackBerries

GeekSugar — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 10:06:31 -0700

Everyday I see pictures of celebrities with different cell phones, MP3 players and trendy gadgets on PopSugar and wonder, how do they pick which phone to be photographed 10,000 times with and more importantly, are they getting paid to flash a little RAZR or BlackBerry love? My favorite Techie Diva Gina Hughes recently informed me of a new study that shows cell phones do say a lot about our personality. "Phones are an extension of our personality and the reason we pay a lot of moolah to have them covered in Swarovski crystals," says Hughes. "That's not to say we solely judge a phone by its cover. This generation of tech-savvy consumers has all the shopping comparison tools they need to make an informed decision."

I agree with her wholeheartedly, particularly her point that mobile phone companies "will do anything to get their phones into celebrity hands as a tactic to make them more desirable."
So how can you tell if a celebrity really loves their shiny gadgets and when it's just product placement? It's sometimes hard to say unless it's an official campaign. What we do know is, we've seen Courteney Cox, Paris Hilton, Jamie Foxx, Lauren Conrad and Jennifer Aniston exposing their BlackBerries amid armfuls of other gadgets. This past weekend, PopSugar spotted Pirates of the Caribbean star Keira Knightley waiting for an important call on her BlackBerry, while Madonna seems to always carry hers between Pilates classes. I guess we'll never know...

Clive Owen: One Man With Two Cell Phones

GeekSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 07:30:28 -0800

Not only is Clive Owen ridiculously handsome, but he's also got great communication skills! While waiting for his luggage at LAX the other day, Clive was rocking not one, but two BlackBerry Curves - one silver and one gold. I guess you could say he was pulling a Lindsay and a Madonna by being dually-connected, but whatever the case, let me bask in this sexy techjoyment moment.
